# You missed nothing by not seeing it in 3D
Much like most 3D films, you get a bit of depth and that's about it. Nothing came flying out at you.

Filmmakers say they don't want to turn 3D into a gimmick by making things fly out at you but the only reason kids got excited about 3D when I was young was BECAUSE things would fly out at you. Marty McFly wouldn't have ducked in BTTF3 if all it did was give Jaws 'depth'

# Mm... admittedly, I think I've only seen one film in 3D... can't remember which one.
And yeah, all it does is give you a little bit of depth, a bit like the 3DS does.

I think there was a film called 'Mars Needs Moms' that came out sometime last year, which was banking on its 3D effect. It became the fifth worst commercial failure in cinema history.

I can see the 3D fad dying out soon, there's no point to it, other than to give you a bit of a headache afterwards.

# ^THIS^
i've not seen a 3D film that has blown me away and left me thinking that it is the next big thing in cinema.

i was more impressed with the size and sound of IMAX, but you have to get the right seat in an IMAX cinema, in my opinion.

# IMAX is superior. I plan to go see Dark Knight Rises in that format.
